Chapter 350: Chapter 223: Ensuring Your Descendants Are Numerous

"I will announce your formal appointment in six months, for now, you will act as a temporary substitute. Work for a while first, to prevent any rumors."

Noah looked at his grandnephew, who had obediently reverted to human form, and reminded him as he let go of the Dragon Claw.

"?"

Wayne, who had already surrendered, silently looked at this granduncle, wondering what gave this dragon the illusion that there would be no rumors about him now.

His personal abilities were beyond doubt, but the speed of his promotion was also unquestionably abnormal. Anyone with a little understanding found that there was something off about him.

Although Wayne thought so in his heart, he did not voice it, because he had already realized that this Holy Dragon was vastly different from what he had imagined.

The Holy Dragon was not the embodiment of perfection he had envisioned, that being the embodiment of light, justice, holiness, and all virtues. Holiness symbolized nobility and supremacy.

Compared to the exalted Holy Dragon, worshipped by countless people and akin to Divine, the Golden Dragon before him was more like a king walking in the secular world, tyrannical and arrogant, and also like a morally questionable irresponsible elder.

The only thing that matched his imagination was the immense power the Holy Dragon possessed, which not only matched but far exceeded expectations, a strength he found difficult to comprehend.

How could such a powerful creature exist in the secular world? It made no sense.

Wayne had just personally experienced it. It was a power that he currently could not resist, having no qualification to contend with it, unable even to resist for a breath, and was suppressed in an instant without any power to struggle or fight back.

Wayne originally had full confidence in his own physical strength.

Originating from the endless battles in hellish dreams and the rewards he received from victories, even in his normal human form, Wayne possessed monstrous strength that surpassed his race.

Aside from the human skin exterior, in terms of bodily structure, Wayne had already transcended the human species.

However, this was a common characteristic of powerful Transcendents. For the strong, what race they believed themselves to be, they simply were; quite idealistically, this was a subjective distinction unique to the strong.

Even so, within the same Realm, Wayne seldom encountered creatures that could contend with him in strength, not even Devils.

That was just his normal state. When he revealed his hellish form, even High Devils would be completely overpowered by him.

Through battle after battle, Wayne gradually became confident in his physique, believing that only those with higher bloodlines or super geniuses with special professional inheritances could rival him, or like the Silver Moon Princess, a Natural Demigod rarely seen in millennia.

After awakening the Titan Bloodline, this became even more uncontrollable. Wayne even had the illusion that within the same Realm, unless that Demigod sister fully awakened and matured, no creature could rival him in this world, not even a Pure-blood Dragon Clan.

That feeling became even clearer after he successfully escaped from his father’s control. Wayne believed that merely with the strength of his body, he had the potential to challenge a Legend.

Because of such feelings, Wayne had immense confidence, and even when he returned to his hometown, he did not hide his appearance.

According to rumors, the Holy Dragon was less than a hundred years old, quite a young member of the Dragon Clan.

Although its achievements were incredibly powerful, having once suppressed the embodiment of an Evil God, there was no news of it advancing to become a Legend.

Therefore, Wayne dared to seek an audience with the Holy Dragon. He thought that even if something went wrong, he would still have a chance to escape.

But upon setting foot in the Dragon Palace, he realized how absurdly wrong he was; his understanding of the Holy Dragon was laughable.

The Holy Dragon was far stronger than he imagined. He felt deceived once more, and when he attempted to burst away, the Holy Dragon’s Dragon Claw shattered his confidence and crushed his pride in his physique.

For the first time, he understood what it meant to be so strong it defied logic, what it meant to break common sense, and Wayne’s worldview, along with his understanding of the world, was reshaped.

The Ancestor Dragon, occupying the same ecological niche as the Pure-blooded Titans, was layer upon layer of strength, vastly ahead compared to other powerful High-Bloodlines.

With only a Hell Bloodline and a faint Titan Bloodline, he had no means to contend, contact would only lead to crushing defeat.

So, Wayne became compliant, especially when the Holy Dragon, assuming the role of an irresponsible elder, threatened him with his dark history, Wayne couldn’t find a reason to refuse him, nor did he have the courage to resist.

Coercion and enticement are always the best strategies, as long as there’s a genuine threat and enticing benefits on offer.

"You need to quickly regroup your original subordinates; they are talents you’ve nurtured with great effort. How can you abandon them so easily?"

Wayne remained silent, but Noah didn’t stop his reminders. At this moment, he seemed like a long-winded but kind elder, giving Wayne a warmth akin to kinship.

"I’m planning to establish some covert organizations that are not suitable for public exposure. Your subordinates and followers can take their positions directly."

A clear purpose shattered the unrealistic fantasies; every act of the Holy Dragon was intentional, and he certainly wasn’t a benevolent elder.

"I need to leave for a while; some people wouldn’t believe anyone unless they see me personally."

Despite saying so, Wayne still agreed.
